Earning XP from completing quests and
defeating captains in order to level up is fundamentally essential as levelling up awards the player with a skill point which can be assigned to learn a specific ability that improves Talion's chances of survival when surrounded by opposing Orcs, while levelling up also
unlocks more abilities for skill points to be applied to and from the second Act onwards to increase the quantity of Orcs that can be recruited into Talion's army based
upon them having a lower level than Talion.
